Michael Rumbolz, President and Chief Executive Officer of Everi, commented, “Our fourth quarter results reflect continued strong customer demand for new products across our business segments as we achieved our tenth consecutive quarter of revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth and generated record fourth quarter revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. Fourth quarter revenue rose 13.8% to $119.5 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased 6.4% to $54.6 million. Ongoing market share gains in both our Games and FinTech segments are driving notable and consistent improvement across virtually all of our key performance indicators, including a record level of full year unit sales, our highest ever year-end installed base, five consecutive quarters of daily win per unit growth, and consistent year-over-year growth in cash access services revenue, kiosk sales and compliance product-related revenue. As a result of the increases across these and other key performance metrics, 2018 full year consolidated revenue rose 14.3% to $469.5 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased 8.3% to a record $230.4 million. We also recorded four consecutive quarters of positive net income and diluted earnings per share and reached an inflection point in the acceleration of our free cash flow, as this metric nearly doubled to $24.8 million.”

Mr. Rumbolz added, “The investments we have made in our FinTech and Games product portfolios over the last several years have led to a greater range of products and services that are delivering higher value to casino operators and better experiences for their guests. As a result, we are expanding our presence on casino floors in both business segments. Our FinTech solutions offer industry-leading convenience and efficiency and we continue to innovate in our core products and product extensions, enabling us to meet new and evolving market demands. Our FinTech market share continues to grow reflecting high customer retention levels, our ability to secure the majority of new casino agreements and consistent competitive wins. The expansion of our product offerings in the Games business, including the introduction of new cabinets and games, provides us with the ability to address new segments of the slot floor and is helping this segment achieve our growth goals. Our unit sales and ship share continue to improve, and we have established a product pipeline that we expect will drive ongoing improvements in our high-margin gaming operations business. It is important to note, we generated a more than 70% increase in our 2018 year-end installed base of high performing wide-area progressive units, which helped drive consistent improvement in our daily win per unit. We are also beginning to reap the benefits of our efforts to leverage our game development capabilities and technology platform in the Interactive gaming space.

“Throughout 2018 we executed on key initiatives which led to consistent improvement in our financial performance which we believe provides the foundation for future growth. We expect 2019 will demonstrate additional operating performance momentum, including our expectation for full-year 2019 Adjusted EBITDA growth to a range of $252 million to $255 million. Reflecting our improving financial outlook and our diligence on return-focused investment across the business, 2019 will also highlight our ability to continue generating accelerating levels of free cash flow.”

Everi also announced today that it recently acquired certain casino gaming-related assets from a leading provider of casino loyalty and marketing solutions. The acquired assets include existing technology related to self-service kiosks and a marketing platform as well as other intellectual property. The Company also acquired a portfolio of over 50 customer contracts representing over 100 casino locations where the platform is currently installed that provide a stream of high-margin recurring revenue related to software maintenance and support. The Company paid $20 million of the $40 million purchase price from cash balances on hand. The Company expects to pay the balance over the next two years as well as contingent earnout consideration of an additional $10 million at the end of a two-year earnout period also from cash balances on hand. The tuck-in acquisition is expected to be immediately additive to the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA and improves Everi’s ability to generate additional free cash flow.

The acquisition enhances the Company’s existing, market-leading financial technology solution portfolio by adding new touch-points for gaming patrons at customer locations and a new player loyalty and marketing focused business line. Everi intends to leverage its powerful gaming network to add valuable transactional information for customers.

“Our ability to integrate this robust player loyalty platform with our payment solutions and growing compliance suite through our already powerful proprietary network further differentiates our comprehensive offerings and enhances the overall value proposition of the FinTech services we provide to our customers. We believe this attractive tuck-in acquisition fits perfectly into our strategy of delivering products and services that are focused on improving the guest experience, growing our FinTech transactional base and creating operating efficiencies for our customers.”

Fourth Quarter 2018 Results Overview

Revenues are presented herein on a comparable basis (see the Net Versus Gross Impacts on Revenues and Cost of Revenues disclosure at the end of this release for a reconciliation of 2017 amounts as reported to as adjusted).

Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2018 increased 13.8% to $119.5 million from $105.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. Revenues from the Games and FinTech segments were $67.0 million and $52.5 million, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2018. The Company reported operating income of $17.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to operating income of $18.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2017.

The Company recorded a loss before income tax of $3.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to a loss before income tax of $48.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. The loss before income tax for the three months ended December 31, 2017 included a $37.1 million loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the Company’s repricing of its First Lien Term Loan and refinancing of its former Senior Unsecured Notes.

In the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company recorded a non-cash income tax benefit of $7.4 million compared to a non-cash income tax benefit of $23.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. The income tax benefit recognized in the fourth quarter of 2018 was primarily the result of the reversal of a portion of the valuation allowance for certain deferred tax assets. The income tax benefit recognized in the fourth quarter of 2017 was primarily due to a reduction in the carrying value of the Company’s deferred tax liabilities as a result of the enactment of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The 2017 fourth quarter income tax benefit was partially offset by an increase in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.

The Company reported net income of $4.2 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to a net loss of $25.0 million, or a diluted loss per share of $(0.37), in the prior-year period.

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2018 increased approximately 6.4%, or $3.3 million, to a fourth quarter record $54.6 million from $51.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. Games and FinTech segment Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2018 were $29.6 million and $25.0 million, respectively. Games and FinTech segment Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2017 were $27.2 million and $24.1 million, respectively.

2018 Fourth Quarter Games Segment Highlights

On a comparable revenue basis, Games segment revenues were $67.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to $56.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Revenues from gaming operations increased approximately 11.9%, or $4.4 million, to $41.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to $37.1 million in the prior-year period. The increase reflects year-over-year growth in both the installed base and estimated daily win per unit (“DWPU”).-- The installed base at December 31, 2018 increased by 703 units year over year to 13,999 units. The premium unit portion of the installed base increased 13% year over year, or 327 units, to 2,859 units. Wide-area progressive units, which are a component of the premium units, were 604 units at December 31, 2018. -- DWPU in the fourth quarter of 2018 increased 6.8%, or $1.82, to $28.42, compared to $26.60 in the prior-year period. The increase reflects, in part, improvements in the overall unit performance following capital investments in new cabinets and games to update a portion of the installed base, as well as an increase in the premium unit placements including wide-area progressive games. This was the fifth consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth in DWPU.-- Interactive revenue was $0.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to $0.2 million in the prior-year period. -- Revenues from the New York Lottery business were $4.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to $4.4 million in the prior-year period.

Revenues generated from the sale of gaming units and other related parts and equipment totaled $23.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to revenues of $17.5 million in the prior-year period. -- Gaming unit sales increased 27% to 1,177 units in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to 926 units in the prior-year period.

Other gaming revenues, which include revenues from TournEvent of Champions® qualifying events, were $1.9 million in the fourth quarter of both 2018 and 2017.

(1) Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2017 are presented on a comparable basis to retrospectively reflect a net versus gross reporting of revenues under ASC 606. This has no impact on the Company’s operating income or Adjusted EBITDA. For further discussion, see the Net Versus Gross Impacts on Revenues and Cost of Revenues disclosure at the end of this release.(2) Operating income for the three months ended December 31, 2018 includes the impact of approximately $0.2 million related to certain non-recurring professional fees.(3) For a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA, see the Unaudited Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and to Free Cash Flow and Adjusted EBITDA Margin on as Comparable Basis provided at the end of this release.

2018 Fourth Quarter Financial Technology Solutions Segment Highlights

On a comparable revenue basis, FinTech revenues increased approximately 8.5% to $52.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to $48.4 million in the prior year period.

Revenues from cash access services, which include ATM, cash advance and check services, increased 8.5%, or $3.1 million, to $39.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 as compared to $36.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. The core cash access revenue growth was the result of increased same store transactions and dollars processed, as well as the benefits from new customer wins from competitive bid processes and new casino openings.

Equipment sales revenues increased 7.0%, or $0.3 million, to $4.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 as compared to $4.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. This increase is the result of higher sales of fully integrated kiosks in the fourth quarter of 2018 as compared to the prior-year period.

Revenues from information services and other, which includes kiosk maintenance, compliance products, Central Credit and other revenue, increased $0.7 million to $8.4 million, in the fourth quarter of 2018 as compared to $7.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2017.

2019 Outlook

Everi today provided its initial forecast for certain 2019 financial and operational metrics. The Company expects to generate growth in revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow in 2019. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to rise to between $252 million to $255 million, with broad-based growth across the Company’s operating segments including expectations for:

An increase in Gaming unit sales from the 4,513 units sold in 2018;

Growth in gaming operations driven by growth in both the DWPU and an increase in the number of units in the year-end installed base;

Increasing Interactive revenue;

Higher cash access service revenue in the FinTech segment;

An increase in sales of fully integrated kiosks and other FinTech equipment; and,

An increase in information services and other revenue primarily driven by expected growth in revenue related to the servicing of FinTech equipment and higher compliance revenue, as well as initial contributions related to the acquisition noted above.

In addition, excluding the capital expenditures for the recently acquired business, the Company expects capital expenditures and placement fees for 2019 will be less than the amount spent in 2018.

For a reconciliation of projected net income to projected Adjusted EBITDA, see the Reconciliation of Projected Net Income to Projected EBITDA and Projected Adjusted EBITDA provided at the end of this release.

New Revenue Recognition Standard

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new standard related to revenue recognition, commonly referred to as ASC 606. The Company adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2018.

Revenues for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2017 have been presented on a comparable basis to retrospectively reflect a net versus gross reporting of revenues under ASC 606, which primarily impacts the Company’s Financial Technology Solutions business. This has no impact on the Company’s operating income, net income (loss), net earnings (loss) per diluted share or Adjusted EBITDA. For a reconciliation of the as adjusted to as reported amounts, see the Net Versus Gross Impacts on Revenues and Cost of Revenues disclosure at the end of this release.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

In order to enhance investor understanding of the underlying trends in our business, our cash balance and cash available for our operating needs, and to provide for better comparability between periods in different years, we are providing in this press release Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, net cash position and net cash available, which are not measures of our financial performance or position under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted EBITDA Margin should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. These measures should be read in conjunction with, our net earnings (loss), operating income (loss), basic or diluted earnings (loss) per share and cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP. With respect to net cash position and net cash available, these measures should be read in conjunction with cash and cash equivalents prepared in accordance with GAAP.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock compensation expense, accretion of contract rights, the adjustment to certain purchase accounting liabilities, the write-off of certain inventory and fixed assets and non-recurring professional fees. We present Adjusted EBITDA as we use this measure to manage our business and consider this measure to be supplemental to our operating performance. We also make certain compensation decisions based, in part, on our operating performance, as measured by Adjusted EBITDA; and our current credit facility and existing senior unsecured notes require us to comply with a consolidated secured leverage ratio that includes performance metrics substantially similar to Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenues.

We define Free Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA less cash paid for interest, cash paid for capital expenditures, cash paid for placement fees, and cash paid for taxes. We present Free Cash Flow as a measure of performance and the Company uses this measure as an indication of the strength of the Company and its ability to generate cash. We present this measure as we believe it provides investors with a better understanding of our opportunity to pay down debt. It should not be inferred that the entire free cash flow amount is available for discretionary expenditures.

A reconciliation of the Company’s net income (loss) per GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted EBITDA Margin on as Comparable Basis is included in the Unaudited Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and to Free Cash Flow and Adjusted EBITDA Margin provided at the end of this release. Additionally, a reconciliation of each segment’s operating income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA is also included. On a segment level, operating income (loss) per GAAP, rather than net earnings (loss) per GAAP, is reconciled to Adjusted EBITDA as the Company does not report net earnings (loss) by segment. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA Margin is provided on a segment level. Management believes that this presentation is meaningful to investors in evaluating the performance of the Company’s segments.

We define (i) net cash position as cash and cash equivalents plus settlement receivables less settlement liabilities and (ii) net cash available as net cash position plus undrawn amounts available under our revolving credit facility. We present net cash position because our cash position, as measured by cash and cash equivalents, depends upon changes in settlement receivables and the timing of payments related to settlement liabilities. As such, our cash and cash equivalents can change substantially based upon the timing of our receipt of payments for settlement receivables and payments we make to customers for our settlement liabilities. We present net cash available as management monitors this amount in connection with its forecasting of cash flows and future cash requirements.

A reconciliation of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents per GAAP to net cash position and net cash available is included in the Unaudited Reconciliation of Cash and Cash Equivalents to Net Cash Position and Net Cash Available provided at the end of this release.
